Zoo officials said the cub was born to its mother, Masaya, on January 26. The sex of the cub is unknown.

"I feel so fortunate to be able to work with Masaya and LeBron, the breeding pair. It isn't easy to introduce a male and female jaguar," said Kerry Sweeney, a curator at Brevard Zoo. "The staff did an excellent job in 2010 when these two jaguars met, creating a comfortable environment for the pair."

This is Masaya's forth cub. Her first cub, Nindiri, was sent to the San Diego Zoo to be paired with a male jaguar, and her two male cubs, Jean and Phil, were sent to the Chattanooga Zoo.
